What does $$$ have to do with it? It costs to educate the AAP students wherever they are.

Unlikely, but there will be quite a few more- where it makes sense (like Cooper).

I hope it's unlikely. Our local middle school isn't very good, and also would not have enough qualified students, so it would be completely and unfairly diluted as a program. Our AAP center middle school is outstanding.

Seems like many parents are against it though. Last time I checked it was pushed back indefinitely because of this..


You are right. Perhaps I am jaded, though, since parent opinion didn't matter one single bit in the reshuffling of kids from Hunters Woods, LA, or Haycock. I want my kids (rising 6th and 3rd) to attend our center MS, but I'm not holding my breath.

And I have spoken to six school board reps and they are all opposed to it.



I'm the PP. I hope you are right. I'm personally against it, but I'm just reporting what I've heard.

Or they will stop AAP centers altogether at the middle school level.
